$$$-$$$$, Santa Fe
Fodor's Review:
Devotees appreciate the Zenlike atmosphere of this Japanese-style health spa and small hotel above town. Nine light and airy hillside cottages tumble down a piñon-covered hill below the first-rate spa, which is tremendously popular with day visitors. The sleek, uncluttered accommodations have marble or stone wood-burning fireplaces, CD stereos, fine woodwork, low-slung beds or futons, and courtyards or patios; two come with full kitchens. There's also a cozy, vintage Airstream Bambi trailer available at much lower rates ($99-$109 nightly) -- it's a kitschy, fun alternative to the much pricier cottages. The facility has private and communal indoor and outdoor hot tubs and spa treatments. Overnight guests can use the communal tubs for free. The snack bar serves sushi and other healthful treats, and a restaurant is planned, somewhat tentatively, for the next few years, along with additional hotel rooms.
